Take those insulated coveralls off!
-
BBs? Are you after Button bucks? Hahaha
-
Around 55#,string is probably a bit stretched. That is a weight i know i can pull back after sitting in the stand for hours doing nothing.
-
my "group"
-
I tooj a short drive this morning and the deer were everywhere! You were spot on about the activity level in the a.m. due to the heat.
-
I am still a virgin in that department,but not for much longer,45 now. I go for annuals but generally get an thatta boy...
-
I think of going to a drop away rest. Actually thinking about a whole new used bow. I am shooting the bear cruzer,the super adjustable combo,because it is my first and i knew nothing. Dont really want to put much into this rig though,and this is the third year for it.
-
The white feet will blow your cover for sure...
-
Interesting. My groups are not really erratic though,broadheads hit straight down from the field tips. Just shot at thirty and am 3" low,the field point arrows are touching. Will try to move the whisker biscuit up more tomorrow.
-
How can you align them? When the head stops in the insert,thats it. I don't glue my vanes on myself...
-
real fine work i had to do... And the whisker biscuit looks worn,third season for it...
-
Moved it up a little,and it is better. The screws were frozen,stripped the allen wrench heads,so then cut the screwheads square so i could use a wrench with a pipe on it for leverage. Fun,got them loose finally.
-
Ok,going to move my rest up a tad,looks to me like the nocked arrow points down a smidge from the right angle. Maybe i wore the whiskers down a little?
-
Got maybe one deer worth of meat left,nice assortment of steaks,backstrap and sausages and hamburger. Maybe more than one. Got 4 last year,may only need 3,but we will see...
-
So i just got around to trying my fixed blade muzzy bh on my arrows i bought this year amd they end up 3" below my fp at 20 yds. Not cool. My old arrows were a tad overspined for my draw weight,but they shot the bh better. Now i have a lighter spine arrow and i assume that shows an out of tune bow better? I dont have a press or the knowledge to tune things properly,but is it worth trying to adjust the whisker biscuit a touch? And up or down? And I know this is pretty late to be doing this...
-
eek. I am hot enough working outside on a stone patio,and the shade tree here dropped all its leaves. Sounds like you are worse off though,sorry.
-
All i know is that i am sweating like a little piggy at work right now!!!
-
I am hoping to get a crack at more mature deer this year,something 2 1/2 or older,buck or doe. And lots of time in the woods.
-
nah,just kidding. I try to hate very little,not good for oneself...
-
Cheater!!!
-
what is really hard is to get close to a deer older than 1 1/2. I find they loose their curiosity after that age...
-
down to owning six arrows,had a bad last week. I will shoot them once a day at least
-
That is how i got my first bow doe,but the conditions were perfect. Damp ground,and windy. I saw her bedded down and snuck to within 20 yds. Last year i almost got a buck,but he was head on,so no shot....
-
Man,hunting must be out of this world in other states,because it is not bad here. Sounds like a typical New Yorker bitching about NY,very common problem.
-
try twisting the string after you nock an arrow,help align the peep. Mine used to twist,had to put it in the string at a 45 angle.
